Removal of interior door - with self-closer

[psychocandy]

Unbelievable. If I've understood you correctly, I'm surprised they even had to take it off. Even if they were carpeting through the doorway itself, surely it'd have been better to gauge fit if they'd left the door hung? And if you just mean taking the spring out, it shouldn't have been beyond them to use a door stop to hold it open for that part of the proceedings.

I'm glad your Mrs was around to sort it out. Some tradesmen are such jobsworths.

Well, Mrs did it in 5 mins so it wasnt that hard. Like someone said - he couldnt be arsed.

Even moaned that because of health and safety he wasnt allowed to unplug any electrical equipment FFS.

The other thing is his mate had started cutting up the old carpet and then they decided they werent going to do the job. Bit late since there was know a few cuts across the old carpet.

Then they buggered off and left it. As if thats safe for a disabled person who can hardly walk.

Sorted now though. Got a different fitter going back to fit the carpet (now the door is not an issue).

Sounds like a right tube. I'm glad you replaced him. Hopefully the new guy will be more professional and accommodating.

PS: I'm led to believe that getting a door off its hinges is relatively easy. Hanging it back on again and getting a right fit can be a bugger, though.

Perhaps he was trying to protect his IR35 status by keeping to the terms of the contract, not being directed by the client. And/or maybe his insurances didn't cover him for this type of thing.

Did he ask to send in a sub?
